Lyric Chapter And Verse

I got the dictionary in my hand
But I can t seem to find the word I m looking for
I ve checked every letter, now I m up to Z
There just ain t anymore
I ve got a million choices in my head
If I could only chose the one that says it best
I shelled out a quarter for a greeting card
Now I can t seem to get my pen to do the rest

But I know it all by heart, chapter and verse
I ll quote you any part, every word
But it s so deep inside it can t be heard

I ve got the Sunday paper in my hand
And I ve been working on the weekly cryptogram
I know there s a message in between the lines
That s the same way I am
I got the crossword puzzle half complete
But now I need another word four letters long
It s just like the way I want a perfect fit
I can settle for less but all of them are wrong

There could be no jealousy over my poetry
It s my weakest quality, no vocabulary
I got the scrabble letters in a pile
But there could never be enough to say it all
I know you don t wanna hear the same old line
So you ll just have the read the writing on the wall
